GOAL REACHED & Getting Settled

The view from our first apartment. Different from our trees we are used to but pretty all the same.

Sorry for the lack of updates the last few days.... We have been busy seeing family in Richland and then making our way to Seattle. On Sunday we got settled into our temporary housing apartment. This morning we got GREAT news: we can move into our permanent apartment on Thursday. The current tenant is headed home, yay for him, and yay, we get to move in.

It was a day of appointments today for Mark. We are tired but feel good about all we talked about today. Ready for the next two week schedule of appointments and tests. An adventure for sure!

Update on fundraising.... a grand total of $33,501.00 has come in so far, with more that has been pledged. God is SO good. We have reached our stage one goal. There may be more fundraising requests in the next few weeks as the numbers we have been given are only estimates. Once the Transplant is underway we will know more and will keep you all posted. 

We can't thank everyone enough for ALL the generosity. Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude. THANK YOU!!!!

Need Prayer!

Please pray for current tenant of the Seattle apartment. He was unable to move out this week as scheduled. He has a test at the first of the week - lets pray his "numbers" are up and he gets to go home. Then as soon as the apartment is cleaned we'll get to move in. I'll keep you posted.

We will be staying in "temporary housing" as planned. (Just a few days longer than we expected)

Praise God! The donations keep coming in! Keep spreading the word and praying for a financial miracle! 

Generosity

We are SO overwhelmed with gratitude today. I can't hardly believe the generosity of those around us. Even more funds came in today... total is growing. Thank you and Praise be to God!

OVER 1/2 WAY

Mark and I feel so blessed! Witnessing this financial miracle is AWESOME!! In three days of fundraising - over $18,000 has come in! With even more pledged and pending. GOD IS GOOD!

Keep spreading the word and we'll get to our goal in no time! Thanks to all the donors. We don't know what we would do without you all.

Time to Trust

Got some news today from the financial folks in charge of Mark's transplant. My initial reaction was to worry and panic but I have calmed down and remembered that I love a God that created the world - a little financial issue is no big deal to Him. We are going to trust and have faith that the funds will come.

We have to change our fundraising goal to $32,000 rather than the expected $15,000 as originally posted. The cost of obtaining the stem cells Mark needs for the transplant from our British donor is quite a bit more expensive than if the donor was in the US. ($40,000 more expensive) If this wasn't shock enough - $20,600 is due on Tuesday the 21st, before our first appointment.

WE NEED HELP. If you have the means or feel lead to give please check out the DONATE page above and do what you can. We so appreciate it and will do our best to "pay it forward" in the future to others in need. I'll keep this chart updated so you can be a part of this great financial miracle. Thanks be to God for what I know He has already worked out.
